OK so I downloaded a ascii game called "starfleet command".When I try to play it,it asks me for a security word.You can see this security word in the manual and since I don't have that,I downloaded it from somewhere.However,the word I put in still don't work.Can anyone help?

Some mod should move this to the proper forum.

maybe there is some kind of other excutable which avoids the security code protection

Replacementdocs has the manuals for starfleet command.
But if the game has been -badly- cracked you're lost.

If I remember swell it was a 1 floppy game, could only run from floppy.
Has been altered later to run from HD.
Isn't there an exe file to crack the game? If I reckon swell something as R-SF.exe or R_1SF.exe ?
You had to run that first.

Yes there is a file called "r-sf1.com".I ran it,then I tried running both "begin.exe" and "begins.exe" but they don't work.

DOS, Windows, DOSBox... ?

Well,actually they DO work,but I mean that the game still asks for the security word.When I ran r-sf1.com it displayed a message but the window disappeared about 0.2 seconds after I opened it,so I couldn't read it.

Use DOSBox. First run the crack, then the game.
See if that works.

you can remap keys. press ctrl f1 in dosbox
